He Promised Us A heavenly mansion built for you and me. In its doorpost our names inscribed. Not bought with silver, gold, or grain But with the blood of Jesus, when He was slain¡ Hung on a tree at Calvary to collect the sins of all the world¡¯s history. He prayed to His Father in Heaven commending us for absolution. Knowing His death, on that cross, was our redemptive solution: ¡°Forgive Them Father For They Know Not What They Do¡± His heart wrenched out, for me and you¡ All that He ask is that we believe in He who sent him, to set us free¡ He promised you, and He promised me¡ A home in Heaven, and He paid the fee¡ ........... ¡Þ¡Þ¡Þ¡Þ¡Þ¡Þ¡Þ Cal¡¤va¡¤ry2 also cal¡¤va¡¤ry--------- n. pl.

2 - Calvary: A great ordeal. ~*~ Indeed...the greatest ordeal ever known to all men... I think the e-mail went around the other day, when President Ronald Reagan put Jesus into today's society in a small speech...how we would treat him now... quite possibly our society would treat him with even less regard than we do our homeless... Food for thought, JL...and I thank you very much... don't be a stranger over the holidays...or ever. We need thoughtful poets such as yourself... Merry Christmas. |
